Autism Early Intervention: Meghan's Story of Hope

This is the story of Meghan. Meghan is a student at the Mariposa School for Children with Autism in Cary, NC.
She has benefitted from the school's intensive one-on-one training. This is a moving story, narrated by Meghan's father. He says if he had one word to describe Meghan's time at Mariposa it would be "Hope". http://www.mariposaschool.org/takeflight.html

Your comment is very, very unfair. 1-on-1 treatment for children with Autism is expensive. Basically, each child's family is paying a teacher's salary so that their child can benefit from the intensive 1-on-1 therapy. The parents of these kids are NOT wealthy people. Many have second mortgages on their homes & have made sacrifices so their children can get help. This video series is part of a fundraising effort so more kids can attend and get the special help needed.

Very nice video! I truly am touched by how passionate you are as parents! I work for the school district in Muscatine, Iowa and they are amazing. I work in a level 3 elementary classroom with autistic children and we use the TEEACH method. Our classroom is set up according to the TEEACH method and each child receives 1 on 1 time, group time, sensory time, and so on. It is awesome to see the progress we have made with the amazing children we are blessed to have in our classroom.

"If I'm going to pay tuition that makes an ivy school look cheap..." This video should be subtitled Autism takes flight for those who can afford the very best.
